no , no ,no , it wasnt as intricate as that , stop fantasizing.
i know its great to romance and dream up these special ideas,
but the real reason it was called the kop was because some italian bloke had an argument with a scottish bloke who dropped a penny and they had a scrap over this penny , the italian called ivor farted and the scotch bloke called adrian said "hey ivor, you should say 'excuse me' when you break wind"
so ivor retorted 'no i shouldnt' , but i think i'll name the busy end at anfield the kop'

So this is the explanation then?

Spion Kop means Spy Hill in Afrikaans
And nothing to do with Scouser Tommy as that was a highland regiment in WWII

The term KOP is used in other clubs but Spion Kop is linked to LFC as it was a big Merseyside regiment that fought at that particular battle

Gold star to whoever can tell me the name of the ship that had its mast on the old Kop

The mast came from Isambard Kingdom Brunel's "Great Eastern"

Gold Star for Ol' Bob :cool:
